Ear Piercing FAQs

Is there an age consent required?

We’re happy to pierce ears for children aged 6 and over.

For anyone under 16, a parent or guardian must be present to provide consent.

We take great care to make young customers feel relaxed — explaining what will happen, answering any questions, and taking things at their pace.

Do I need to make an appointment?

Walk-ins are always welcome! However, if you’d prefer a set time, you can call ahead to book an appointment.

Is it painful?

Most people describe it as a quick pinch. Our staff work gently and efficiently to make it as comfortable as possible.

How long does healing take?

Healing usually takes around 6–8 weeks. We’ll give you full guidance on how to care for your new piercings during that time.

Do you pierce both ears at once?

Yes, we can pierce both ears at the same time — especially helpful for younger children.

Can I bring my own earrings?

For safety reasons, we only use our sterile, approved earrings designed for first piercings.
